...Funny how some of the hardest hitting Z on the forum are pretty much stock body'd with only a lip or minor cosmetics...WHY??
Because its all in the stance/offset/rim combination...The 350z was MADE for setups like these, i knew that when it first hit the showroom, now people are barely catching up and barely throwing camber/offset/flush setups on them..
im only 20 but hopefully soon my car will join jinsei, the op's, terrence and others in the S.O.S. crew (see sig, feel free to add yourself as member #'s).
God bless the flushness stance
BTW: jinsei, before i even had a z i was droolin all over your hellaflush.com content...def one my insp. leading up to my car now

AME said that they'd ALL HAVE TO BE SBC COLOR AND SAME SIZE...
All 20 SETS would have to be in SBC and the same SIZExOFFSETxWIDTH....
No word on pricing but thats the news, they will not be coated in SBC anytime soon so what you see on the websites is the only color options.
Other than that the rims you see in the thread are/will be/the only set in pretty much the world that are coated in SBC....So if anyone wanna start a group buy soon or later we'd need at least 20 peeps..
I myself will end up buying these in hyper silver if a group buy dont go through....
Bad news

Well you can count me in for the group buy but 20 is just too much. Besides than too many people would have them too. I know the OP got them from another forum member but how did that one get his hands on SBC. Or did he have them dipped?

I am the original owner of them and you can guarantee it was a luck on how I obtained it. These were the first set to be prototyped to see if the SBC process could be utilized on the 10.5 wide rim (AME USA). These wheels were done in the SBC finish from AME personally. These are not dipped from another place and the SBC finish is not a dipping process like chrome. It is an intricate method involving a matte black base and polish coating over and over. From what AME USA told me, they wanted 40 fronts and 40 rears for it but if they can do 20/20, that is VERY SMALL MINIMUM and still RARE if you think there will only be 21 sets in the world. I fell in love with finish as soon as I saw it but I am glad and personally think they look alot hotter on rick's ride.
